His Sophomore year, he led USC to a split Ntl Championship with LSU. Then they won outright the next year against Oklahoma. Last year's game against Texas was for 3 straight. I know split Ntl. Championships are ridiculous, but as long as the system allows something so stupid, you have to give USC credit for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159334843964017592006-09-27T01:27:00.000-04:002006-09-27T01:27:00.000-04:00John (the whore, mi):As a Yankee fan it pains me t...John (the whore, mi):<BR/><BR/>As a Yankee fan it pains me to defend Schilling v.

I actually think Leinart has a pretty good head on his shoulders - or at least he seems like a quality team guy who understands the football aspect of his career - can't say much for his personal choices but who hasn't had one of those nights, heh.<BR/><BR/>I think Leinart not starting this week is a smart move by the Cardinals - that Falcons defense is going to be brutal and why not let Godboy take the hits and bring Leinart in for the next game when he wont be facing such a brutal defense.thirdstringjdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00617207710938001790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159313400243367682006-09-26T19:30:00.000-04:002006-09-26T19:30:00.000-04:00Can I be the first to say, stop spamming?You've ha...Can I be the first to say, stop spamming?<BR/><BR/>You've had the chance to pimp your own blog, DS will probably add you to his blogroll if/when he creates one (although if he hates spamming as much as I do, maybe not...), you can add your blog's URL as a signature to any meaningful post you make, etc.<BR/><BR/>Just don't post and repost whatever you've recently heard off the wire, and then add your blog to that, because that's not gonna make you my go-to source for random updates around 5 PM.<BR/><BR/>And I don't mean you, sonsofkc. Although I almost might. Just make sure you say things for their own sake, not advertisement's.<BR/><BR/>Even jingoist doesn't bug me; there's a topical post that sends you over to his blog. Kind of annoying, and I'm not likely to copy and paste that into my bar, but at least it doesn't make me decide "I'm never going to look at that blog, ever." If Matt Leinart actually interested me at all, I might check that out, and I think it's fair that he directs you to his previously written statements rather than just pasting it in. But see, the comment is topical and belongs where it is located.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I thought maybe Rafael meant "Shilling" instead of "Schilling," but then I remembered that there's a pitcher of the same name who is worshipped and glorified despite having essentially identical career stats (for different teams, who finish the season in different positions...) to those of my Detroit Tigers' Kenny Rogers.<BR/>But if he had meant "Shilling," I would have been right with him.john (ann arbor, mi)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16358370226095549102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159310771086074632006-09-26T18:46:00.000-04:002006-09-26T18:46:00.000-04:00Matt Leinart is starting to give off the Ryan Leaf...Matt Leinart is starting to give off the Ryan Leaf vibe to me. <BR/><BR/>And that can't be good.Rev.

The reasons you mention for him to have this alleged "chip on his shoulder" are mostly ridiculous and would never be brought up if he went to Florida. Your judgment is so clouded by what teams you root for that you cannot seem to be objective with any team/player you don't like. Hell, your readers are much more objective than you are and seemingly more able to make unbiased opinions, despite the fact that we all have our favorite teams as well. <BR/><BR/>I've always been a loyal fan of the MQ/DQ and have tried to check in on a semi-regular basis with your blog, but your seemingly irrational dislike of certain players/teams has so clouded your judgment that your arguments are getting tired. I don't mind you being a Florida/Jaguar apologist but when they lose or one of their players makes a mistake, nothing is said, or it is explained away as they coulda/shoulda won (similar to Jax coming up small in Indy this weekend). Nor can any player/team you dislike ever get any credit, no matter what they accomplish. <BR/><BR/>I was rooting for Texas in the Rose Bowl and am certainly not a USC fan (in the interest of full disclosure I graduated from Penn State). However, if putting up 38 points in the biggest game of the year makes Leinart and his offense "overrated chokers" than I must have missed a memo. I feel the same way about him getting with Paris Hilton or not winning the Heisman last year (notice no mention of the fact that he has one already and 2 national titles which puts him in very exclusive company). These are reasons to cop an "I'll show you" attitude? You really should think out your posts a little better before putting them up. This was one of the dumbest ones of all time.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, Warner is going to start this week, so your entire rant is even more pointless than before.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03385502058916168395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159300529782693282006-09-26T15:55:00.000-04:002006-09-26T15:55:00.000-04:00That's your solution to everything iam!

(1) Leinart I think was ...Some people crack me up. <BR/><BR/>(1) Leinart I think was pretty overrated in college. His first Heisman was debatable since OU's White had better numbers that year than he did in his Heisman winning season (votes were in before the Big XII championship), and I doubt that anyone will ever win two Heisman's again because voters don't want to see it. Don't forget that the year he won the Heisman there was still debate about whether or not Bush should have won it.<BR/><BR/>(2) Not sure I agree with USC being overrated chokers, they had no defense last year and relied on outscoring people. <BR/><BR/>I've got family who went to Notre Dame, and I'll admit that they were overrated. But to say that Brady Quinn is an overrated choker because of the Michigan game is a bit much. It's hard to be a good pocket passing quarterback when you're too busy running for you life because of a weak offensive line. (see also no running game) Opposing D's can get pressure with only 4 men leaving 7 dropping back in coverage, good luck finding an open receiver.<BR/><BR/>And personally, if the girl pictured with Leinart is the mother of his kid... she's so much better than Paris!jhawkjjmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01121137385290899419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159296920523974682006-09-26T14:55:00.000-04:002006-09-26T14:55:00.000-04:00Did anyone catch that the Cardinals sold the namin...Did anyone catch that the Cardinals sold the naming rights to their stadium?<BR/><BR/>"The University of Phoenix Stadium"<BR/><BR/>Well Leinart did say he enjoyed college.Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01345431884349785123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159296862274904792006-09-26T14:54:00.002-04:002006-09-26T14:54:00.002-04:00Maybe Leinart is just an idiot and all of that cra...Maybe Leinart is just an idiot and all of that crap DS wrote means nothing. He will play OK. This is a waste of time topic... <BR/><BR/>But then again what are blogs for? They are for unemployed suckas to post their opinions...or employed ones who don't feel like doing what they are really being paid for. Anyway, my dimes worth:<BR/><BR/>(1) yeah that one gives him a chip on his shoulder. A chip so big that he says "Screw camp, I want money, I don't need to prove that I am the best QB coming out this year"<BR/><BR/>(2) I am fairly certain the story at the time was how VY brought Texas back, not how USC choked.<BR/><BR/>(3) Again this should give him a chip, but see #1. Also see: Matt Leinart=Idiot.<BR/><BR/>(4) I don't think anyone really cared that he didn't sign. All anyone said was, "damn this kid is dumb"<BR/><BR/>(5) He does not have a chip because of this. I fail to see how this would give him a chip. Do you really think he is going to say "damn I hit it with a famous chick, I am so pissed I must throw for 300+yds and 4TDs." If DS was still doing the Quickie this one would have been edited out because it is dumb.<BR/><BR/>(6) Again another edited one. How in the world can this give him a chip? If it did then Santonio Holmes would be catching 40 passes a game. Does Leinart say "I must atone for my bastard child by throwing for 300+yds and 4TDs. Then and only then will God forgive me." No he doesn't say that.temwrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076877707077684755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1159296860197974932006-09-26T14:54:00.001-04:002006-09-26T14:54:00.001-04:00Ugh, sorry I spelled his name wrong throughout my ...Ugh, sorry I spelled his name wrong throughout my entire comment...that is a pet peeve of mine!!
